Documents concerning the work of the National Student YWCA in the South. Minutes and reports of regional council meetings concern regional decision making, regional challenges and the election of officers. Staff work plans outline intended travel and campus visitations for regional field staff. Throughout the documents issues of race and desegregation take a central role reflecting the particular challenges of the racial tensions in the South. Such discussions appear in minutes, reports, resolutions and correspondence. In 1959 the National Student YWCA sends a letter to national and state officials in support of desegregation and inquiring about suggested actions to support its implementation. Initial responses are quoted following the original letter. Additional documents include brief profiles of regional leaders, organizational charts and program materials.
